The CAMEO Executive Committee welcomes proposals from individual investigators to carry out ancillary studies.
Ancillary studies must be reviewed and approved by the CAMEO Ancillary Studies Committee (ASC) and approved by the CAMEO Executive Committee (EC) before the inception of the ancillary study, or submission of an ancillary study for external funding consideration.
Who Can Submit and Participate
Applications are encouraged from any CAMEO investigator and institution with the capability to perform the proposed studies, without restrictions.
Three types of investigators may submit applications. These three types are outlined below. Priority will be given to types 1 and 2.
1. A principal investigator (PI) with a proven track record of independent investigation related to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) basic, translational, or clinical research, as evidenced by first or last author publications and/or independent funding.
2. A PI at the career development stage of IBD research, with a mentor who meets the criteria in type 1 above.
3. A PI with a proven track record of independent investigation in a non-IBD area, as evidenced by first or last author publications and/or independent funding, who now seeks to apply those skills to answer an IBD question.
Current Deadlines
There are currently no active deadlines for proposal submission. Proposals will be reviewed on a quarterly basis.
